Docking Station
The hybrid workplace is here to stay
While hybrid and remote working gives employees more flexibility and freedom, it can increase the stress on already overwhelmed IT teams and systems.
For IT decision makers, the challenge is to find a solution that offers a more seamless experience, for both their end users and teams.
The humble dock could hold the answer.
The key to a successful hybrid workspace
The dock is an often-overlooked bridge between the home and the office for hybrid work. Yet, it can help all employees be more connected, secure, and productive—regardless of their location.
Powered by Microsoft Azure Sphere, Lenovo ThinkPad smart docking solutions provide a trustworthy, seamless, and secure bridge between the office and home. Universally compatible, they enable firmware updates and maintenance without the need for a connected laptop. They also offer fleet visibility, enterprise-level security, and enhanced inventory reporting.
